Is the card's chipset Mach64 or Rage128? If it's Rage128, you need to
be using the "r128" X module, and you need to have the r128 and agpgart
kernel modules loaded. You also need to have the lines

Load "GLcore"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"

....in the Modules section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config , and you probably
want the lines

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

....in your XF86Config file somewhere.

Once that's done and you've restarted X, you should see "direct
rendering : yes" in the output of "glxinfo". That should help with
speed problems with anything that uses OpenGL. HTH,
